Getting started

Download, sign in, grant two quick permissions, and you're ready. All you need is the Mac or PC you take calls on.

One rule to remember

Run Sorinai on the same laptop you take the call from. It listens to your laptop’s audio, so a second machine won’t hear anything.

Download and install

Head to sorinai.com/download and grab the version for your machine. On a Mac, drag Sorinai into Applications. On Windows, run the installer — no admin rights needed. From then on, it updates itself.

Open Sorinai. It pops a browser tab for sign-in. If your team sent you an invite, sign in with the same email that received it. Otherwise, create a free account. When you’re done in the browser, Sorinai picks up where it left off automatically.

Grant permissions

Permission setup only applies on a Mac. On Windows, Sorinai works out of the box — no prompts, no settings to change.

On a Mac, Sorinai needs two system permissions to hear your calls. The first time you start a session, your Mac will ask — just say yes. If you skipped a prompt, both live under System Settings → Privacy & Security:

Microphone — so Sorinai can hear you.
Screen & System Audio Recording — so Sorinai can hear the other participant.

Why screen recording?

macOS puts “listening to another app’s audio” under screen recording, not microphone. Sorinai never looks at your screen — just the sound.

Run your first session

1Open Sorinai. You can do this before the call starts or once you’re already on it — either works.
2Click New session.
3Pick a qualification template. Sorinai ships with a default one, so you can launch straight away even if you haven’t uploaded your own. Optionally attach the candidate’s CV and the job description for sharper suggestions.
4Click Launch. Sorinai tucks itself away and a small notch appears at the top of your screen — that’s where you’ll interact with the copilot during the call.
5When the call ends, click Stop on the notch.

After the call

Sorinai comes back into view. Behind the scenes, it finishes up your session: the qualification sheet gets filled out, red flags are listed, and if you have follow-up emails on, one arrives with the filled sheet attached. All of this usually takes under a minute.

Everything lives under Session history — open it anytime from the sidebar.
